There was the proaspect of serious words being thrown several miles southward in Portmore, but at Backyaad on Constant Spring Road on Boxing Day night, the words elicited howls and peals of laughter.
Trini-born, Candaian resident Alex Trinidad used the natural gift of his larger than usual ears (accentuated by a shaved head and light complexion0asa great ice breaker and proceeded to deliver in my book, the best routine of the early going of the ELlis Int'l Comedy fest. Alongthe way, he skewered Jamaicans, Guyanaese and "non-Caribbean white people" to good effect.
Lovindeer - the natural parodist- created the usual stir, with his term-bending ditties("Bun-Bow-Cloth") but really sparked when joined by DJ lady G for the brilliant "You Cook"
Song also playeda part in curtain raiser Michaal Abrahams' routine, which suggested - among other things - replacing synchronized swimming as an Olympic sport with "synchronized sexing". Ity 7 Fancy Cat got the biggest laughs ogf the night for their reneactment of the country's oLympic glory and the recent shoe-throwing incident (in which they substituted current prime minister Bruce Golding and former PMs PJ Patterson & Portia Simpson-Miller for the outgoing US president).
